There are going to be bad acts. There are every single year. There have been horrible headliners, there have been horrible sahara acts. Deal with it. LMFAO is exceptionally bad, yes, but just don't go see them. Easy.

Understandable. I've been to plenty of other festivals to know that seeing someone else is the solution to the problem. But seriously though? Kinda just brings the essence of coachella down a few notches

Roger Waters was scheduled to play at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, but it overlaps with their planned renovation of the stadium, so they are trying to work with their architects to see if the project's phase will allow the concert (and other events) to proceed as scheduled. Most likely they will be canceled and everyone will find another venue (Dodgers Stadium, yawn), thus the TBA. Not because of Coachella, at all.

^Wouldn't it be silly for GV to only book Daft Punk (if they are actually prepared) for LA Rising considering they are trying to sell out a two weekend Coachella this year? I just can't see that happening. If they are available, there's no way GV would pass on booking them.

^do some research than manBattlesBassnectar*Beirut*Bon Iver*FeistFour Tet*My Morning Jacket*Neon IndianThe Shins**are bands I've seen before but will gladly see again.Unless you just really don't like any of the bands on the rumor list so far.

PJ Harvey played last year. Also, I really don't understand why coachella board is at war with monklish. If they find something and can provide evidence and confirmation, then someone compiling a list of confirmations would be stupid to not use that information. Monklish is just doing her job and she does it just fine. And if you have problems with that, you should realize that she doesn't owe anything to you. Also, I can't wait to see fucking Four Tet again.

I like that you fucking idiots think that because Monklish puts it on the blog, it's confirmed. Nothing is confirmed until the poster comes out. Nothing. Everything up until that point is speculation, word of mouth, and educated guesses based on tour dates/tour rumblings/new albums. THATS IT.

Of those acts, the following WERE NOT on the lineup.Atlas SoundBeastie BoysBrodinskiDaft PunkFleet FoxesFour Tet Free EnergyGodspeed You Black EmperorGroove ArmadaHow to Dress WellIt’s Always Sunny in PhiladelphiaMewNeil YoungNeon IndianOMDQueens of the Stone AgeRuskoSwedish House MafiaThe ThermalsTom Tom ClubToro Y MoiZola Jesus

@person pretending to be Paul Tollett: please realize that Paul doesn't book the festival by himself. He doesn't have "final say" over who plays or does not play. His input is valued, but he's far busier running other functions of the festival business than simply lineup construction.

If Monklish's current lineup is indeed correct, who do you guys think will close out the main stage? With SHM selling out MSG instantaneously, they are now (although not in my opinion) a viable candidate to do just so. I'm hoping, along with many others, that it's Justice

The Coachella board is not at war with Monklish. There are a few posters over there that like to poke fun at her because it is quite obvious she does look at the board and get SOME of her info from there. I believe she even used to post there (she did not have the name Monklish, that was someone else). You people posting here make it seem like either side gives a shit about the other. I check these predictions and the predictions there because it's fun, not because it's a fucking competition. Why does everything have to develop into a god damn rivalry?

LMFAO will not be in the Sahara nor would they be an early day act. They suck serious ass, but their popularity probably moves them to another stage later in the day. Not to mention, Coachella is still five months away and they'll probably just get more popular.

radiohead are confirmed. my friend's company is adapting safety equipment for a multiscreen rig with an expandable metal tree rig for their tour. should be about 10 screens total attached to the ends of branches. they're working on high wind safety stuff, so it sounds like they are preparing to play outdoors in windy areas.

Active Child - uninspired M83 copycat (OK, not great)ASAP Rocky - who the fuck? still wondering if he's a jokeAVICII- dubstep bullshit (the opposite of real music)Band of Skulls - all the world needs is another shitty Twilight bandBattles - see aboveBassnectar - great, more dubstep bullshitBeirut - mediocre at bestBoom Bip - not horribleBon Iver - can disappear from existence any time nowChildish Gambino - won't even dignify this one with a responseDas Racist - flash-in-the-pan - like two years agoDigitalism - ShitalismDonavon Frankenreiter - one glimmer of lightFeist - her voice makes me want to scratch my ears offFour Tet - Four ShetJustice - another band that can go away any time nowKasabian - actually likeKeep Shelly in Athens - stop with the "chill" fuck shit crap already!Kings of Convenience - no commentLMFAO - definitely no commentM83 - "Midnight City" is like crack cocaine for the earsMy Morning Jacket - another not horrible bandNeon Indian - saw them warm up for Sleigh Bells and thought "meh..."Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - refuse to support this d-bag no matter how good his songs arePulp - one minor US hit that Captain Kirk sang betterThe Civil Wars - not my speedThe Shins - does this mean more Zach Braff sightings?St Vincent - another glimmerSwedish House Mafia - had their day with one song, and if I hear that again will go on murdering rampageThe Head and the Heart -new age folk = more boring chill shitThe Naked And Famous - great band and great liveWild Flag - jury's still out

radiohead are 100% confirmed. i'm not personally a big fan but i'm sure that'll make a lot of people happy.

something of interest though is that primavera released their first round of acts and jeff mangum is playing. i never even got my hopes up for him playing coachella since it's a large outdoor fest, but since he's doing primavera that throws that out the window. he hasn't done any west coast shows so this actually might be a possibility...

@ anon 12:03...why don't you tell us the third headliner the shitty bro rock headliner. IF you KNOW Radiohead and Daft Punk then I would have to believe you know the 3rd as well. So...you don't know shit

dude, i have no clue who the third headliner is. i know it's some shitty bro rock band, so your choices are coldplay, foo fighters or red hot chili peppers who all suck. it's not no doubt who also sucks.

I have no inside information. I have no reason to "know" anything. I promise Daft Punk will not be there. It makes no sense that they'd be there. We do this EVERY YEAR with Daft Punk and they've never come CLOSE to playing since 06.

I say this becuase I know people who got sucked into the rumors last year, and ended up really disappointed. Monk and Coachellaleaks reported them last year. It's not happening.

Jeremiah from Modest Mouse is currently recording my friend's band's album. So I personally know that Modest Mouse isn't playing. I'd assume that the rest of your list is a lie (although you'll probably be correct on some of your guesses).

@1236 the only one that is even feasible on your list is Foo Fighters, bc if it came down to them and RHCP Coachella would book the first-time headliner. And you know Foos would JUMP at the chance to play Coachella. I tend to think the bro-rock headliner is going to be No Doubt.

If Coachella does get Radiohead to play maybe they would stoop to such a level as adding Foos as a headliner one day, but I do tend to think GV is above them. If it was RH/DP nobody would give a shit who the third headliner would be.

But it's not Daft Punk and it only might be Radiohead. A lot of information is pointing to neither.

Don't people think that Stones are a serious option?? They were almost signed last year and then it didn't happen. But they ARE going on tour this year for their 50th anniversary. I could see it happening. Would be sooooooo cool

Hey i'm not sure if this is where you post the information, but I bought Derwin (GOLD PANDA) a beer after his show at the Crocodile in Seattle last month and asked if he was playing Coachella. He said he was invited and is playing....
